Period." — 4.0/5 > **Rishabh** | *19 September 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Postman is one single solution for all your API needs. It is extremely simple to create, test, and share your APIs. > > **Cons**: The API URLs we have tested will be deleted after you leave Postman, meaning you have to enter the API URLs every time you want to try. This is a bit annoying and should be addressed. > > I wish Postman came into existence long back. It has made our life easier regarding the creation and testing of APIs. No doubt it is a unicorn and has a bright future. ----- ### "A must have handy tool for API/WS devs" — 4.0/5 > **Catarina** | *12 November 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to test new endpoints and save them into a project that you can export and share with your team is a great plus\! Also, the simplicity of usage and the data visualisation options are two of the main advantages. > > **Cons**: From my personal perspective, I can't pin point any relevant flauts in this software so I highly recommend it. > > This tool was a "go to" application to test API endpoints that were beeing developed by our team. It was also used to make sure that every developed endpoint was available from outside of our infrastructure and in every existing environment.Overall I think it is a must have tool to use if you are developing, testing or integrating APIs or Webservices. ----- ### "It could be better" — 3.0/5 > **Flavio** | *26 April 2022* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Postman is vital to prepare test campaigns, it is relatively easy to use, and consumes very little processing from the host testing machine > > **Cons**: The search engine in Postman is terrible. It does not look inside REST body payloads for example. The management of the collections is cumbersome\! I would like to have in Postman something like the IDE tools provide, such as workspace and projects management (files location management and refactoring tools) ----- ### "Great API lifecycle managment tool for rest/json APIs" — 5.0/5 > **Goran** | *24 September 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Postman has become one of essential tool in our software development projects (web services, microservices). It is the best tool for testing rest/json APIs. Support for exporting/importing collection and environment data. > > **Cons**: Nothing special, but sometimes during troubleshooting results in Postman can be misleading and it is useful to do simple curl calls to see what is happening behind the scenes. > > Postman has become one of essential tool in our software development projects (web services, microservices). We use it mostly for testing rest/json APIs and documenting APIs we created in form of collections. Secondly we often also receive Postman collections as part of integration documentation from other vendors and that helps a lot with integration. ----- ### "A Great API tool" — 5.0/5 > **Paulo** | *10 September 2024* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its versatility to store and share APIs collections and authorization within APIs grouped > > **Cons**: It is not possible to perform Load testing > > A great experience running and storing APIs collections, and easy to share across the company ----- Page: 1 / 22\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/289838/postman?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/289838/postman) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
